We have some great garden walks scheduled for you to see this summer. These gardens have unique personalities created by their owners displaying hostas, perennials and annual flowers, shrubs, and trees that fit the landscape and design of their space. Some gardens also showcase water features.
Our garden hosts have worked hard to prepare their gardens for our visit. Please take time to go see these gardens on their respective dates and during the time they have set aside for the Northern Illinois Hosta Society to visit. They are eager to meet you and share their gardens with you
PLEASE WEAR YOUR NIHS NAMETAG AT THESE GARDEN WALKS.
One of the most popular benefits of being a member of Northern Illinois Hosta Society is the opportunity to tour spectacular and unique area gardens. Bill Brandt, Director at Large for Hosta Garden Walks, has put together an itinerary of 10 gardens over four Saturdays in June and July. So get out your calendars and reserve those dates!
